She's barking - again!

 As soon as she starts barking and fence running, bring her in. Everytime she does this it just reinforces her behavior.

She looked quite frustrated.  How is she allowed to release energy?  What kind of strenuous exercise is she getting?  Also, just by viewing this video...it doesn't appear as though she listens to you.  Have you had help from a trainer...one that will teach you how to get her to focus on you. 

She is a big dog...would you say you have control?  I'd suggest until you have a solid recall and leave it...your only recourse in this situation is to distract her, remove her from the area.  But, you will need to get her focused on something else in order for her brain to distract  In other words, don't just remove her...get her on to something else...play ball with her, do some OB work, etc.  Hopefully, some of the more experienced and the trainers will have some suggestions for you.  The training really doesn't stop though...we are teaching them constantly, every day.

Good luck!

 Maya gets quite a bit of exercise.  On my days off we go for at least 2 2 one hour walks a day (sorry), and a run through a dog park or an outing in an urban area where we practice obedience.  When I'm work she goes to a day care during the day and we go for a walk at night.

The control thing is one of the things that frustrates me.  This is the same dog that just last week I walked at heal off leash through a dog park because the other dogs were bullying and targeting other dogs and I didn't want Maya practicing that.  For some reason in the back yard all of this training periodically goes out the window for her.  I don't understand how I can have such control most of the time but when she decides she is going to run the fence all bets are off.

The fence is a distraction that is just too much for her to ignore.  Have you gotten help from a trainer?

I've got no real advise other than perhaps you should be sticking with the training that was working.  Sounds like you are letting up too soon and maybe should be sticking with it longer. 

There's plenty of folk here who'll give you great advise.  Good luck.

 CoBuHe, yes it was a trainer that came out to the house that came up with the process I described above.  The video was taken just before she came to show her Maya's worst.  It does work, it just doesn't seem to be sticking in the long term and we keep having to go back to the beginning. 

Maybe you're right, Johnny andTessy, I do ease off once she's at the point where I can call her from the house.  I am wondering though if there is something that I can be doing that might be more effective in the long term.

OBTW - Maya's exercise should have read 2 one hour walks per day for a total of 2 hours a day.  That's what you get for thinking about dog training so late at night!

Ok, so exactly how many days a week does this take place? I ask this because i have the weekends off but if i was waiting until the weekend to exercise my Malamute then for sure I would be having him acting like yours during the week.

Based on the video I would say that he wants to join the excitement of playing with another dog and run along with joggers and bicycles. He indeed seems and sounds frustrated that he was not allowed to join.

Most dogs need DAILY exercise to burn down the energy and frustration of staying inside the house the whole day. Correct him for this behavior will not solve the problem. It seems that he needs to get out every day

 Maya does go out every day.  Sat. Sun. and Mon are my days off and we go for two walks plus either a dog park run or an intensive obedience session somewhere with distractions.  Tues. to Fri.  Maya goes to day care where she plays all day and then I take her for a one hour walk in the evening.  Some people say that I give her too much stimulation and she would benefit from more chill time.  I don't agree with that, and that is why she goes to day care when I work rather than keeping her at home.  The most that she's ever cooped up in the house is the occasional time when we go out to visit family for a few hours in the evening, and I make sure that she has had some extra exercise before we go.

It sounds to me like you are making progress... the work just never ends! You might try breaking up her fence-running path with obstacles. If she can't have a clear run along the fence, it might reduce the her fun/increase your control over the situation.

 You are unlikely to ever get a dog that has a view of passersby, and is outside alone, to stop barking at them.  She is hardwired to sound the alarm if she spots intruders, and she is spotting them every time someone walks by.  A longer term solution is to place her pen where she can't see them, or put a solid fence, like a stockade, on the side where they pass by.  If you are outside with her, then putting barking on stimulus control is a good idea.  In other words, teach her to bark on cue, then to quiet on cue, then simply don't cue her to bark and only cue "quiet."  Here's a good video of how stimulus control works with another behavior (jumping): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c877MVeZkyE
